Public lectures

More or less every day a lecture directed not only at the participants of the Summer University, but also at other academics, students and the interested public will be given.

These Lectures are given by renowned specialists in Digital Humanities. They are designed to provide a theoretical and historical framework for the intensive workshops and the project presentations.

The lectures take place in the lecture hall of the Bibliotheca Albertina.
